So friends, the beach is totally on my mind because I’ll be going on vacation pretty soon 😀 and with Spring break around the corner for schools marking the beginning of swimsuit season I think this is a great time to take a look at some ethical swimwear. I’m actually really overwhelmed by the amount of really good, fashion forward ethical swimwear this season so let’s get started! Vitamin A and Vitamin A Silver first row (l-r): eco nomad; onyx… View Post

Well friends, I have come to terms with the fact that I’m a bit of a bag monogamist. I basically have a rotation of the same 5 bags during the work week but I heavily heavily rely on a go to bag and for me that is a bad girl bag. The above is my now retired bad girl bag. It served me well but honestly not as long as it should have in my opinion. While it looks pretty… View Post

So friends, have you heard of OpenSky?!? It’s kind of a wonderful place :D. I first heard of OpenSky this past summer from the bright and wonderful Beautifully Invisible, fastforward 2 purchases and 1 party later I am officially a super fan! OpenSky emails draw my immediate attention! OpenSky is built on the idea that we all shop for different things with different tastes. OpenSky has chosen curators who have great taste in their respective interests, aesthetics and fields who… View Post

This Shop for MORE edition is a treat indeed because I am bringing you one of my most favorite bloggers on everything ethical, the Finnish born beauty Annabella Asvik from the blog Ethical Bella. I approached Annabella for an interview because I think her taste is flawless and her ethical finds fantastic. I was delighted to find that Annabella is 1) literally a ray of sunshine and positivity and 2) more beautiful in life…inside and out. Despite the soft launch… View Post

Friends, some of you might remember the shopping ban I took in May (post here), it was the first time I’ve taken this challenge and I was really nervous to fail. But I’m happy to report that I was successful and I think my view on shopping has changed quite a bit, more on that another time. Sooooo, now that shopping ban is over 🙂 (insert macarena here) I am excited to treat myself just a little. I scored a… View Post

Jamillah / May 10, 2011 / Comments Off on What I Wore and This Old Tee Craft

One of my dearest friends and her boyfriend held an Art Day/Craft Night at their apartment a few weeks ago and it was mega super duper fun. This is what I wore. (necklace-buffalo exchange; shoes and cutout tee-urban outfitters; jeans-h&m) But more importantly!! This is what I brought to Craft Night. Some old t-shirts that were destined to become dust rags or getting donated, knitting needles, and beginner yarn to teach a darling friend how to knit. The goal of… View Post

Some Earth Day inspiration for you :). All images linked to their sources, have fun! I heart Cri de Coeur makers of HOT vegan accessories. The Museum of Arts and Design in NY had an exhibit called Second Lives. I didn’t get to go and I totally still regret not seeing these things in life :(. Ooooh I saw these market bags from Artecnica at Sustainable NY and they are so so pretty and modern, would be lovely for a… View Post

I do wear a lot of patterns and a lot of dresses and a lot of fun colors, but if I haaad to choose my most favorite item of clothing in my whole entire huge wardrobe it would easily be the Mama Cass Tee in white by Alternative Apparel. No accessorizing in this pic, I wanted you to see just my tee 🙂 I had to qualify in white because I own this tee in a few versions: 3 white,… View Post
